HUNTSMAN Robbie Hodge of the East Antrim Foxhounds and his wife Emma, who whips-in to him, held their Puppy Show at Parkgate near Belfast recently, on a glorious day of sunshine attended by hunt followers, friends and many visitors.

There was a great turnout from the adjacent packs, which included Craig Caven, former master of the East Down Hunt; Patrick Murphy, master of the Fermanagh Harriers; Charlie McPoland of the Iveagh and Tom Fulton, who has done such outstanding work as chairman of the Hunting Association of Northern Ireland, together with being a respected hunting correspondent and photographer.
